NASA MSFC is the lead center on the Advanced Mirror System Demonstrator (AMSD) project and therefore has responsibility for testing each AMSD mirror to certify its compliance with the SOW. To accomplish this task it is necessary to accurately characterize each mirror's Radius of Curvature, Optical Axis Vertex Location, Conic Constant and Surface Figure Error. A key challenge is how to measure these parameters in the presence of gravity sag. This presentation will outline the MSFC/UAH team's proposed AMSD test plan.
